Let’s talk about the genus Lupinus! A member of the pea family (peanuts, soybeans, alfalfa, etc.), lupines are commonly Id'ed by our crews throughout the west. These plants enhance their surroundings with beauty & color & also benefit soil health because they are nitrogen fixers!
One of the best aspects of working with the Ecological Monitoring Program is the lifestyle that comes with it. Explore the deserts of Nevada and California this season on one of our field crews!
